Interestingly enough, you also get a low crime rate when certain offences which are regarded as criminal elsewhere are not regarded as criminal in a particular nation/state.

“honour killings” for example.

The book I referenced has a page specifically talking about categories of crimes and their prevalence. It is an interesting read, so I recommend everyone take a look.

They are perfect. Absolutely perfect hellholes. Any country can have a low crime rate if they keep half the population in thrall to the other half. Maybe they should try putting the women in control of the men, keep men from driving or going out of the home unaccompanied by a woman and make men wear burkhas and veils. Then we’ll see the crime rate plummet even further. What a great solution!

Since SA only follows the criminal justice system properly (somewhat), it makes sense to see that aspect of society.
I am willing to also discuss other aspects of society as they come up in the discussion.

Say: He is God, the Unique.
God, the Self-Sufficient.
He does not give birth, nor was He born.
And there is none equal to Him.
Quran (112: 1-4)

So far, the only thing you’ve shown a willingness to do it to use your creed to trivialize, infantilize and micromanage the personal affairs of half of this planets population because they have vaginas, as if somehow that magically makes all the difference.

Until you show a willingness to let go of this paternalistic mentality, don’t be too surprised at not being taken seriously.

Question authority and think for yourself. Big Brother does not know best and never has.

Over 3,000 Muslim protesters turned violent over derogatory remarks against Prophet Mohammed allegedly made by Sawan Masih, a 28-year-old Christian, three days earlier, police official Multan Khan said.

Dont trust the news.

Depicting Islam as manifestly medieval, backward, and cruel is not new…. Recognizing that the propaganda that is being ground out in the mainstream media derives from that conflict, it is easy to understand why Muslims are persistently portrayed in negative terms…
objective is to justify the seemingly unending series of wars in Asia, presenting the local people as lacking in the civilized moral and political values that we all hold dear.http://original.antiwar.com/giraldi/2012/04/03/the-islamophobia-excuse/

This wouldn’t be the first time the news misinformed the public about the Muslim world. For examples, see

A. trust the consensus of qualified scholars who have devoted their whole lives to studying Islam

OR

B. trust lay people living in scattered countries, many of whom are poor, uneducated, and dont even know classical arabic (the language of the quran)

I would like to thank you, however, Asanta for bringing up the issue of ‘‘freedom of speech’‘.
That is a slightly debated topic even in the US (or at least made controversial thanks to the history channel).

So I just want to know, what people think is the limit for free speech. Most people I know use the 10 ammendments from the US constitution as their reference.

They are secular and interesting clauses to study. So I am curious to know if you agree with this or not. Whats your view on using the constituion as a reference?
